Since the Via Julia cycle path runs on the former railway line of the Weldenbahn, the actual Roman road is a bit out of the way in the forest on a forest path. If you look closely, you can still see the old embankment quite well. A little further along the forest path you will also find a small refuge with the opportunity to rest.

The Roman road Via Julia is the modern name for the Roman military road between Günzburg (Guntia) via Augsburg (Augusta Vindelicorum) to Salzburg (Iuvavum). The road was strategically very important for the Roman Empire. It was used for rapid troop movement and for securing the Reich. The route from Augsburg (AVGVSTA VINELICVM) to Salzburg (IVVAVVM) is almost completely documented by archaeological finds. From Günzburg via Augsburg and Rosenheim to Salzburg, a cycle path has been signposted along a historic route. Between Hofolding and Aying in the Hofoldinger Forst, the Via Julia is a well-preserved cycle path. The long, straight route and original material pits on the edge can be seen there.
